Mint is known as Babri in Nepal, which is a perennial herb grown in all parts of the world and extensively used in many cultures. Tender leaves and springs are eaten fresh in a form of chutney in Nepal. In this recipe, young, fresh mint springs are ground with the combination of fresh herbs to a smooth textured-sauce and served as a chutney or dipping sauce with any Nepali meals. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
